Pat Sajak’s Final Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune Episodes Set Release Date
After saying goodbye to the main show, Pat Sajak’s final episodes with the spinoff Celebrity Wheel of Fortune has been revealed. Sajak served as the host of Wheel of Fortune for more than 40 years, with his tenure coming to an end in 2024. Ryan Seacrest took over hosting duties starting in September of that year. However, due to Seacrest’s role on the long-running American Idol, Sajak has returned to host Celebrity Wheel of Fortune in recent weeks.
Now, Sajak’s time with yubi a Wheel of Fortune show is again coming to a close. Deadline reveals that the long-time host’s last episodes with Celebrity Wheel of Fortune begin Wednesday, April 30 at 8pm on ABC. It isn’t yet clear when his exact final episode will air.
That same night will also see the 2025 Jeopardy! Masters tournament at 9pm. Contestants scheduled for this season of Celebrity Wheel of Fotrune include Cameron Brink, Josh Gad, Tiffany Haddish, Regina Hall, Rachael Harris, Ellie Kemper, Justin Long, Joe Manganiello, Katharine McPhee, Oscar Nuñez, Randall Park, Andrew Rannells, Sam Richardson, Matt Walsh and Rainn Wilson.
What This Means For Wheel Of Fortune
The End Of An Era (Again)
Sajak’s departure means that Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, like the main series, is entering a new hosting era. Ready to replace Sajak is Seacrest, adding to his Wheel of Fortune gig. The American Idol host will pick up the position after season 5 of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune airs. Vanna White, Wheel of Fortune‘s co-host, will continue her role of both co-hosting and flipping the letters on the tiled game screen.
Wheel of Fortune has had five official hosts since it premiered in 1975, beginning with Chuck Wooley. Sajak made his debut on the program in 1981. Wheel of Fortune is the longest-running syndicated show on television, and Sajak currently holds the Guinness World Record for being the longest-running host for a singular game show, passing the likes of Bob Barker from The Price is Right and the late Alex Trebek of Jeopardy! fame. It is unlikely that Sajak will return to host another show, so Celebrity Wheel of Fortune will presumably be his last time as a television game show host.
Our Take On Pat Sajak’s Final Episodes
Pat Sajak Had A Long And Successful Run On Wheel Of Fortune
Having hosted Wheel of Fortune for 41 seasons and Celebrity Wheel of Fortune for five, Sajak is a bonafide television legend. His lengthy career has spanned decades, and his final run on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune is sure to be a hit.

Though Seacrest is posed to begin a new era for the show, Sajak will always remain a critical part of Wheel of Fortune‘s imagery and history.
